Racing goggles - maximum visibility and protection for maximum speed

High-quality racing goggles are your most important tool in alpine racing. At XSPO, you'll find racing goggles that improve contrast, reduce glare and protect your eyes in all weather conditions. With the right goggles, you can keep a perfect eye on every bump and goalpost, even at top speeds.

Purpose, scope and requirements

Racing goggles are used wherever fast reactions and precise vision are crucial:

• Competition in bright sunshine - mirrored lenses minimize glare.
• Foggy conditions or diffuse lighting - contrast-enhancing lenses emphasize contours.
• Snowfall or snowstorm - clear lenses for maximum brightness.
• Night or floodlit races - transparent lenses ensure unclouded vision.
• Training and Head-to-Head duels - interchangeable or self-tinting lenses adapt to light changes in a flash.

UV protection and mirror coatings are essential in bright sunlight, while contrast-enhancing tints help in diffuse light or fog. The close integration with racing helmets guarantees a secure fit without pressure points, even at high speeds.
